“Everything Happens for a Reason”

Many of us believe that everything happens for reason; good or bad, there is a purpose for every event that God allows to happen or not happen. This is definitely something I strongly believe in as well. But I also believe in the fact that just because everything happens for a reason, doesn’t mean we are meant to know what that reason is. It is impossible to get into the mind of God and many of us (including myself) have stressed ourselves out trying to figure out the “why” and “how” and “when.” As Joyce Meyer said, if we were able to get into the mind of God and understand why He does the things He does, he wouldn’t be as great and mysterious. Yes, everything does happen for a reason, but with that belief comes acceptance and trust that everything will be okay and the possession of courage to keep moving forward in the direction we are being led.

You said it, Ariffa! I’m juggling a lot of “change” balls right now – some reasons I know, some I don’t. My job is to ‘let go and let God’ and trust Him. Thanks for this timely reminder. Blessings to you and your hubby and family this Christmas. Wishing you God’s best for 2015 🙂 Vera
